Constant injuries have contributed to the Vikings’ struggles this year. On the other hand, the Eagles have utilized a cutting-edge sports-science program to minimize both major and nagging injuries throughout the season.

Want proof? Let’s peruse the Eagles’ Week 15 injury report:

Najee Goode - LB – Hamstring - Doubtful

Earl Wolff - S – Knee - Doubtful

Cary Williams - CB – Hamstring - Probable

Brandon Boykin - CB – Hip – Probable

This list is surprisingly brief given the Eagles have logged 14 regular-season football games. Even more astounding, despite logging 904 regular-season offensive snaps, the offense has zero players listed.

Now, look at theMinnesota Vikings’ injury reports for this Sunday:

John Carlson - TE – Concussion - Out

Josh Robinson - CB – Chest - Out

Xavier Rhodes - CB – Ankle - Doubtful

Adrian Peterson - RB – Foot - Questionable

Toby Gerhart - RB – Hamstring - Questionable

Chris Cook - CB – Knee - Questionable

Brandon Fusco - OG – Knee - Questionable

Larry Dean - LB – Knee - Probable

Chad Greenway - LB – Wrist - Probable

Not only is the Vikings’ list more than twice as long as the Eagles’, it also includes critical players on both sides of the ball, most notably Adrian Peterson and Chad Greenway. Moreover, both Vikings starting cornerbacks are banged up, which puts Nick Foles, DeSean Jackson, and Riley Cooper in an ideal position to put on a laser light show through the air.
